New Music from Raphael Saadiq

Raphael Saadiq has been working on his next solo album for a while now, and some of the latest tracks from the latest album have been leaked onto the internet. Raphael Saadiq has continued to do something different with his rnb music again, this time by steering clear of the traditional modern rnb sound.

In fact he has been working on sounds that sound like early marvin gaye, some al green, and very 60s soul and motown style music. We think at blue funk this is an awesome return to real sounding music.

It does seem to be a current trend lately to revert back to the sounds of early motown, the last post of the solange knowles track, the popularity of Amy Winehouse (in record sales, not her personal life) as well as others, shows that rnb music is reverting back to its motown roots. John Legend on his last album “Once Again” I think was trying to do something very similar.

Raphael Saadiq though, especially on the track “Love that Girl” does a fantastic job. Forget what you have to say about his ego and past issues with groups such as Lucy Pearl, the man has undeniable talent, and thats what we at blue funk radio want, great soul music from great soul and rnb singers.

Listen now: Raphael Saadiq’s New Single and tell us what you think of the return to the old school!
